If you are looking for a beautiful day trip from the Anchorage area look no further than the Portage valley. It is just a couple hours south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway and it offers some breathtaking views of glaciers, rivers and lakes! and if you are feeling a little more adventurous take the Whittier tunnel and go explore the superb little town of Whittier. We made a day out of it and loved all of the sights this drive and area had to offer. Check out some of the pictures I took in the Landscapes tab.
